About this Item

Langoa Barton
Saint Julien, 2005
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

Château Langoa Barton is a winery and vineyard in the Saint-Julien appelation of the Médoc. In the official 1855 Bordeaux classification it was ranked as a third growth. Like many wines made in the area, Langoa Barton is Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant, but with more Merlot than its adjacent sibling estate, Léoville Barton. Somewhat confusingly, the château features on the label of Léoville Barton – which has no château building or winery of its own – but not on Langoa's. In 1821, Anglo-Irish wine merchant Hugh Barton bought Château Langoa and a portion of the Léoville estate which became Léoville Barton. Anthony Barton inherited the two properties from his uncle Ronald in 1983.

Critics Ratings

‘Wonderful aromas of licorice, crushed blackberry and mineral. Full-bodied, with very well-integrated tannins and vanilla, berry and aniseed flavors. Has a long, long finish.’ – Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Mar 2008)

‘Good ruby-red. Rich plummy aroma. Deep and chewy if a bit youthfully sullen, with sweet flavors of redcurrant, mocha and tobacco. Finishes with chewy tannins. Distinctly fatter than the 2006 but a bit less chocolatey and dark in its flavor presentation.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (May 2008)

‘Tasted blind. Very fragrant and winning. Dense, with coffee notes. Mint too. Ambitious. Dry tannins and just a bit dead on the end but very sincere.’ – Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Feb 2017)
